Using the Compaq Presentation Utility
The Compaq Presentation utility included on the CD-ROM is for
use with portable computers. The purpose of the Presentation utility
is to disable power management features of the portable computer
while the Compaq Microportable Projector is connected to it. The
utility also disables the computer’s screen savers and auto-suspend
feature while the utility is running.
A graphical user interface (GUI) is required to control the
projector’s resolution settings and the enabled/disabled status. The
Compaq Presentation utility supports the following GUI operating
systems: Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0,
and Windows 2000.
To install the Presentation utility onto a portable computer:
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. The
CD-ROM menu will automatically launch on the screen.
2. From the launch menu, click “Install Software
Install
Presentation Utility” and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Select Next in the dialog box to install the program. The
Presentation utility installs on the hard drive and you are
prompted to restart the computer. Upon restart, a program icon
(yellow beam of light containing a Q) is placed in the Windows
system tray.
4. Double-click the program icon to launch the Presentation
Properties dialog box.
5. Set the Presentation Mode Duration time in the dialog box.
 The dialog box has default settings enabled to turn off the
computer’s power management features and screen saver
features.
6. Select OK from the dialog box to execute the settings. The
software dialog box closes and the computer is ready to
continue with the presentation.
When the installation is complete, the appropriate language is
installed on the computer based on the computer’s operating system
language. If the computer’s operating system language is not
included as one of the installation languages, then, by default, the
English version will install on the computer.
